in the name of God Dear sir/madam I have downloaded the latest release of gcc (3.4.2) and tried several times to install it on Red Hat Linux 9 without any luck. I tried upgrading to latest version of "binutils" as well but this didn't help either. The failure point is here: ------ make[4]: *** No rule to make target `src/x86/sysv.S', needed by `src/x86/sysv.lo'. Stop. make[4]: Leaving directory `/root/Archive/gcc-3.4.2/gcc-build/i686-redhat-linux/libffi' make[3]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/Archive/gcc-3.4.2/gcc-build/i686-redhat-linux/libffi' make[2]: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/Archive/gcc-3.4.2/gcc-build/i686-redhat-linux/libffi' make[1]: *** [all-target-libffi] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/Archive/gcc-3.4.2/gcc-build' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 -------- I'm not sure if I am writing for the right person, so thanks for your patience if I should not right to you and for your help if I should.
